Friend of mine Rashiq Fataar at Future Cape Town has written a really awesome article titled 'The Spaces Below' - all about how we can improve the spaces underneath freeways.

Largely inherited from the 'freeway rush' of the 50s and 60s, some of these large pieces of infrastructure are (unfortunately) here to stay - for a little while at least.

What are often dark, unwelcoming and unsafe places, many cities are realising that the underbelly of these freeway behemoths are in fact great opportunities for people to engage in public life. Rashiq takes us around the world to check out some of the most creative and beautiful freeway revitalisation projects. Check it here.

If New York is an oil painting, London is a watercolour.

I’ve always thought London’s Canary Wharf is such a weird, but interesting place. Only a few decades ago it was one of the world’s busiest shipping ports - East India Dock was at the centre, bringing goods into Europe from across the East. Today, it’s one of the world’s largest financial districts and continues to grow... 15 or so new skyscrapers under construction.

I love seeing the old industrial elements mixed in with the new city.

... Managed to get a few afternoon shots last week when the light was looking nice 🤙🏼.
